Welcome to another short episode of Info under the radar, the show where we deconstruct everyday ideas, concepts, and subjects that surround us.

In this episode, Devendra and Vishwajeet explore the Air Travel landscape. Decades ago we were able to travel faster than speed of sound... what happened to that? We should have been teleporting by now, right? Well this is where Sci-Fi and Science kind of go there separate ways. 

We ventured into the history of Concorde, the once famous Aerodynamic Marvel, talked about some basic concepts your should be aware of when you decide to read about such stuff like difference between supersonic and hypersonic, mach number etc. We tried to cover what is scientifically possible as of now and in the near future and of course some "dreamy" ideas that might/might not become a reality in future.

Welcome to another short episode of Info under the radar, the show where we deconstruct everyday ideas, concepts, and subjects that surround us.

In this episode, Devendra and Vishwajeet discuss the concept of First Principles Thinking. First Principle Thinking has gained quite a bit of traction in pop culture due to usage by people such as Elon Musk or Reed Hastings.

We have covered the origins of the term, its practical application, when to use the first principle, how to use it, what is analogical thinking and how it differs from the first principle thinking, why analogical thinking is important for survival, and many other practical examples showcasing how one could use the first principle thinking or reasoning.
